long story short, i survived

one time I was at a rave and a guy that was very obviously tweaking told me to get away from the speaker cause I was bothering the music and I've never recovered

People used to talk about blondes and brunettes like they were different genders

“she’s going to write a breakup song about you” is basic. “she’s going to not only sing the love songs she wrote about you to someone else but also change a lyric to specifically make it about her new partner” is smart. it’s possible. it’s terrifying.

bitches will hear a song and be like ‘this makes me feel like i have a gaping hole in my chest’ and then they put it on repeat. its me im bitches

also fuck all these worthless liberal zionists who kept waxing on about how this is a military operation to stop hamas now trying to square the obvious colonial and genocidal intent with their pathetic delusional worldview. i doubt that they ever will recognize it no matter how obvious it is

so judging by how astonished people are by it every time we explain it to anybody, it seems like my wife and I might really be onto something here

during the pandemic, we invented something we call "astronaut time."

when it's astronaut time, it's like we are two astronauts wearing the big helmets, moving around the station on totally separate tasks. one of us is outside the space station and one of us is inside the space station. our radios do not work and we have no way of communicating with each other. we might see each other through the lil porthole windows, but we ignore each other because we both have different things to do.

"astronaut time" is how we get total privacy when we live in the same apartment. I will pretend you don't exist. You will pretend I don't exist. we have a nonverbal, zero-contact signal for when astronaut time is over (usually "I'll draw a smiley-face on the whiteboard in the kitchen when I'm done"). No talking, stay out of each other's line of sight, we are actively avoiding each other, unless you are currently experiencing a medical emergency goodbye.

it has been. a godsend. imagine living with your partner and being able to close every single tab in your brain related to social interaction. no fear of being interrupted by a "hey, quick question--" or "sorry to bother you, but do you know where the scissors are?" or "did you want something to eat, too?" Once or twice a month, we look at each other lovingly, hold hands, and say "baby I think I need some astronaut time tonight," and the other person goes "okay cool. bye! have a nice night!" and nobody's feelings are hurt and we both go and have a lovely evening completely by ourselves.

like idk it's a small thing but it's made our lives so much nicer, so if you and your partner/roommate are both people who sometimes need total privacy in order to recharge, maybe try it

From the beginning to the end. You've always been here right beside me. So, I'll call you my best friend. Through the good times and the bad ones. Whether I lose or if I win. I know one thing that never changes, and that's you as my best friend.

Um ok this is unreal?? I just wanted to say to anyone who listened to my music this year, anywhere in the world, thank you. Getting named Spotify’s Global Top Artist in 2023 is truly the best birthday/holiday gift you could’ve given me. We’ve seriously had THE MOST fun this year out there on tour and now this. Are you serious. So I was trying to think of a way to thank you, and a lot of you have been asking me to put “You’re Losing Me (From The Vault)” on streaming… so here you go! You can finally listen EVERYWHERE now 💋
